Setup
Using a Safety Cable
Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary
method of securing loudspeakers to support structures to provide
additional safety. Choose a mounting position, method, and
hardware consistent with local building codes and regulations.
Bose recommends using (1) a safety wire, (2) a safety cable, or
(3) a threaded rod as a secondary securing mechanism. See the
diagrams below for safety attachment points.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any secondary securing
mechanism implemented.

Assembling the Tile Bridge
Note:
If you are installing in a hard ceiling, assemble the tile bridge
after inserting the rails and ring through the hole cutout (see
page 6).
1. Align the rails and insert the tabs into the slots.
2. Pull the rails outward to secure them together.
3. Align the rails parallel to each other and press the tile bridge
ring down to secure the ring to the rails.
Cutting the Ceiling Tile
1. Remove the tile and use the template to trace a
loudspeaker hole onto the tile. To center the template
on the tile, draw an X by connecting the corners
diagonally and center the template using the crossing
point.
2. Cut a hole into the tile.

Installing the Tile Bridge
1. Place the assembled tile bridge across the ceiling
grid. If necessary, adjust the tile bridge so the rails
rest on the ceiling grid.
2. Replace the tile in the ceiling.

Note: Installation in close proximity to cooking surfaces where the
loudspeaker may be directly exposed to cooking oils, such as in
commercial cooking environments, may decrease the performance
or functionality of the loudspeaker.
